Ingredients
Puff pastry sheet (thawed)
Dijon mustard
Virginia ham slices
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese (white and orange mix)
Fresh chives, chopped
Eggs + splash of water (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Roll out puff pastry to about 9×10 inches.
Brush with Dijon mustard, leaving a small border.
Layer ham slices evenly across the surface.
Sprinkle shredded cheese and chopped chives on top.
Roll the pastry tightly into a log.
Wrap in plastic and chill for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice into 12–13 pinwheels using a serrated knife.
Place cut-side up on parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush tops with egg wash.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Feel free to switch the filling! Try spinach and feta, or brie and caramelized onions.
Chilling the roll before slicing helps it hold shape and bake evenly.
Serve warm or at room temp—great for make-ahead snacking.
